Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) Leaf | Cleansing Herb, Money Drawing, Purification

Cut and dried peppermint leaf, sharp and cool. Peppermint has a place in both cleansing work and money work across Southern conjure and the Western herbal tradition.

In the classic Western correspondences, peppermint is ruled by Mercury and the element of Fire, and is worked for purification and clearing away what's settled in. The mints as a family have long been carried and worked for money in folk practice. In conjure, peppermint turns up in cleansings and in workings that want quick, clean movement.

Add it to a ritual bath or floor wash to clear a person or a space, or burn a pinch on charcoal as loose incense before the work begins. Dress a green candle for money, or tuck a few leaves into a wallet, mojo bag or spell jar. You can also lay it over a petition for drawing money in.
